## What is Zamboni Challenge?

Ever wish you could drive the Zamboni® ice resurfacer?

Drive carefully to clean the ice as efficiently as possible.  Get as close to the boards as you can without hitting them.  Don't leave patches of scratched ice or create puddles by driving over the same areas too many times.

Start out on an early morning practice rink and work your way up through 5 arenas of increasing difficulty.  The final challenge is cleaning the ice between periods of a professional hockey game with another Zamboni machine running in tandem.

Optionally shares your accomplishments with Facebook, Twitter, email, or instant messaging.

Universal App - supports iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, including standard, Retina, and iPhone X displays.  Even runs on Apple Mac or MacBooks equipped with Apple’s new M1 Silicon chip with easy to use mouse and on screen controls.

*2021-12-21*

Never play a fraud , for 4 dollars it is trash and very trashy quality

### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage

*2019-05-23*

Never buy this game because you don’t even do anything. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!

### 2/5 — So annoying.

*2019-01-04*

It takes so long to load and then the game is not worth it. Waste of money.

Had an issue where the game stopped working on my iPhone 8plus. Sent an email to customer service and they fixed it within a week. Very helpful and friendly. Game is great for children who are crazy about zamboni’s. 

Thanks!

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2018-11-04*

Bought this game a long time ago and decided to reinstall it and I have an iPhone 8+ so now I can’t play it and this was my favorite game you guys should really make it to all phones again

### 1/5 — It sucks

*2017-10-21*

This game is not worth 4$ it glitches and the graphics are terrible.it also doesn't let you drive worst game out

### 1/5 — Too Glitchy

*2017-08-14*

I wish I could like this app.  It's a simple but great idea.

BUT

It freezes going around corners.
It leaves parts of the ice unclean after you go over with it.
It doesn't always clean close to the boards.

Such potential.  But horrible, annoying glitches.

### 2/5 — Terrible game

*2017-03-12*

This game is a god awful rip-off. The watch addition is nothing more than a split second replay and the actual phone gameplay has unresponsive controls with some ok PlayStation 1-era graphics. NEEDS UPDATES!

### 3/5 — Alright

*2016-11-29*

Blue ice???? In real life Ice is not blue it's white

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2016-08-08*

The controls are horrible, I might as well have been playing a game from the '80s. Don't waste your money as you cannot be refunded.
